If the initial letter is an R it had either a horizontal bar, or a short oblique stroke; the G is sickle-shaped, or half-uncial, and the diagonal stroke of the first N joins the right ascender half way up the stroke. The top bar of the F slopes up, and the bottom slopes down. The S is half-uncial.

Both Macalister/1945, 344, and Nash-Williams/1950, 109 suggest that the first line ended in a horizontal final -I.

Legibility:

someMacalister/1945, 343--344: `inscription much injured...the missing letter in the second name has flaked away...the horizontal I at the end of the first line is spalled away, but the extreme tip remains'.

Jackson/1953, 445, argues that REGINI here is the same name as Regin found in the Annales Cambriaes.a. 808 and 814.

Nudinti (Language: Brittonic; Gender: male)
Jackson/1953, 619: `NV( )INTI, may be for Nudinti, and, if so, is probably connected with the British name Latinised Nodons, Nodens, Nudens; in fact, a Latinising genitive in -i from the oblique stem Nudent-. But this does not prove that the language at the time had also a nominative, alternating as a living morphological feature with its oblique stem; *Nudinti would be simply the genitive used for a nominative...giving a Pr. W. *Nuddint'.
